First of all, you should give importance to quality education instead of placements. If you are skilled and have sufficient knowledge of the concerned subject, then you will be easily placed in a company with a decent package. Various companies visit SIBM Bangalore every year, and you will get the opportunity to sit down with top recruiters. You will be placed based on your skills and knowledge. SIBM cannot guarantee 100% placement; instead, it give enough opportunities to learn and grow. This scenario is the same with all the business Schools in India
When comparing two B-Schools with similar placements, there are a couple of factors you should consider. Firstly, you should look at the batch size and the brand. TAPMI has a larger batch size compared to SIBM Bangalore, which may lead to more dilution in resource allocation.
On the other hand, a smaller batch size in two equally-matched B-Schools ensures batch quality. The second factor to consider is the brand of the B-School, which is something you should analyze on your own. It is important to understand the brand value of a B-School, as it reflects its reputation in the industry and the quality of education it provides. Ultimately, you should choose a B-School that aligns with your goals and aspirations, and provides you with the best opportunities to achieve them.
After SIBM Pune releases the first merit list, the movement of the waitlist isn’t released officially. Also, whether any further merit list will be released or not depends on the number of students getting admission that year. So, you should check the official website for any upcoming list. You can join the social media pages of SIBM Bangalore for any further queries as well.
